Attorney. This is a personal account and I tweet only for myself and my evil twin.

Trump's Justice Department has agreed to pay Michael Flynn $1.25 million in taxpayer money even though he pleaded guilty twice to making false statements to FBI agents about his interactions with Russian officials. @alanfeuer nytimes.com/2026/03/25/us/…

It is now confirmed by the hospital that Noelia Castillo Ramos has been euthanized. She reportedly was having second thoughts in the final days, but doctors convinced her to move forward since some of her organs have already been reserved for donation.

No one should be de-banked because of their political or religious views. They did this to President Trump, and they may do it to you too. Our citizens should speak and worship freely, not dance to the tune of soulless creditors with a political axe to grind.

With return of algebra to San Francisco schools, Oakland Unified is now the only Bay Area school district to systematically deny all 8th grade students algebra instruction. Students have to take it externally if they want to take Geometry in 9th grade.

I'm going to need you all to do 👏 the 👏 work 👏.


Famously (there is a beautiful Works in Progress piece on this) in 2016, Geoffrey Hinton told an audience in Toronto that medical schools should stop training radiologists, since AI would soon outperform them at reading scans. Ten years later, there are more radiologists than ever, and they earn more than they did then. Hinton was right about the task, but he was wrong (so far!) on the future of the radiology profession. Times have never been better for them. The gap between those two claims, the difference between tasks and jobs, is the subject of a paper I have written with Jin Li and Yanhui Wu, and that we release today: "Weak Bundle, Strong Bundle: How AI Redraws Job Boundaries." (Very relatedly we are also finishing the first draft of our book "Messy Jobs" on AI and Jobs!! You will be the first to hear). We start from the observation that the growing literature on AI and labor markets measures the AI shock by task exposure: people count how many tasks AI can perform in a given occupation AI can perform, and infer that more exposure means more displacement. Eloundou et al. published a paper in Science in 2024 that started this literature, and many follow the same logic. The inference they make is that the more exposed tasks, the worse the outcomes. This is incomplete, because labor markets price jobs, not tasks. A radiologist does not just sell image classification, but does many other jobs: triages cases, communicates with other physicians, trains residents, makes the difficult decisions, and signs a diagnosis. The market buys a bundled service. The question AI poses is not whether it can do one task inside the bundle. The question is whether that task can be pulled out.

UPDATE: Hospitals are now required by law to post their prices online. This was meant to stop the practice of patients getting blindsided with surprise mega-bills, aka predatory billing. At a hearing this week in Congress, witness Elizabeth Mitchell said only 69% of hospitals are complying with that law, and the price info they do put out “is increasingly unusable.” An investigation of hospital price variation showed it’s common for a hospital to charge one patient one thing and charge another patient 10 times more for the same procedure. Here’s that report: static1.squarespace.com/static/60065b8… Price transparency advocates are pushing people to call or write their elected officials to demand that the law be enforced. Have you ever been price gouged by a hospital? Let me know your thoughts!👇🏼 #hospitalfacts #partner
